A&M are a lovely couple working with Christians Against Poverty. They both got into debt as a result of difficult circumstances, especially A who was struggling as a single mum. They are working really hard to stick to an incredibly tight budget. They have a baby on the way and are struggling to cope with a broken cooker. Can you help us to provide this and lift the burden of worry for this couple?

L is a lady we've been supporting for a while. She struggles daily with mental health problems and has recently lost her claim for Personal Independence Allowance and is awaiting an appeal process. In the meantime her microwave has broken and we would love to help her with a new one.

Young female who has lived in supported housing for 3 years is now moving into her own rented property. She has no kitchen items, and is in need of a cooker, microwave, fridge and kitchen essentials. This money will go towards this. This is a fresh start for her and would be great to see her set up well after working her way out of debt with our help.

C and her partner and young child are really struggling financially and living in an unfit, privately rented property, with heating costing a fortune. They have just been issued a Section 21 notice to leave the property so have come in for advice on housing options. They are also expecting twins which has further added to their issues. At present they are renting a washing machine and ideally we would like to be able to purchase one for them.

This is our 1st request of 2 on behalf of K. K is having support from Christians Against Poverty and is likely, to be shortly undergoing insolvency process. K has long term health conditions which are increasingly debilitating her and she is now partially sighted. We would like to replace her rented fridge/ freezer which is due to be collected, with a purchased one, ideally of the same dimensions to assist her poor sight. This amount will significantly help with the purchase and give her peace of mind for the foreseeable future.
